This quick way finds the partly blocked names. It won’t work on names appearing as LinkedIn Member.

From LinkedIn search results, just copy and paste the name, title and company from the profile summary

Go to Google Search box and paste it in then hit search or enter

4) Profile View Method

This is a hit and miss method and varies in time when finding the person. This allows you to find partial block/hidden and LinkedIn Member.

In your search results on LinkedIn, click on one of the other profiles

When the profile opens up, go to the section where it says “People Also Viewed“. There should be a list of people with pictures and titles

Repeat the above steps to find the profile you want

5) Combination Method

This method will only work for upper management in a company and helps in finding a name that is blocked/hidden or LinkedIn Member.

If the name appears as LinkedIn Member or is blocked/hidden and their title is Managing Director of the company.

Open another screen and go to the company website. Go to the section on their website where they list the people in the company example team, board members, management, etc.

The LinkedIn profile of the person should match the person here.

These are the methods I have discovered when I need to find out the names of people on LinkedIn. If you are a person who has blocked or hidden your name on LinkedIn, then you now know that this feature of LinkedIn is no longer handy. If you are a person trying to find a name of a person in a particular company, do you will find these tips very handy? Have you used any of these methods? Do you have any other methods?

Update from Irina Shamaeva

Let me offer a tip that works in 100% of the cases. (which is not true, say, of Googling the names and phrases; that may not work in some cases).

I’m extremely inspired together with your writing skills and also with the layout in your weblog. Is that this a paid topic or did you customize it your self? Anyway keep up the excellent high quality writing, it’s rare to look a great weblog like this one
these days..

Thanks for the comment Tristan. As to being a paid topic, I’m sure LinkedIn would not be happy that you can access names of profiles for free. They are a business and it doesn’t make sense for them to have some one write an article where they can lose money or revenue.
